Winterfell is Burning Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 If I was just an ordinary Joe, Braavos seems the best place. Cosmopolitan, mostly free of wars, birth doesn't seem to mean as much as it does in Westeros, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_halfling's_leaf Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 This is a no-brainer for me: Oldtown. I've always been a big fan of books and the acquisition of knowledge generally, and I think living in a sort of college town would suit me well. Plus I love the idea of whiling away my free time at the Quill and Tankard, drinking the "fearsomely strong" cider and watching the Honeywine flow by.Not to mention that while it is one of the two major cities of Westeros, it is (seemingly) considerably cleaner than King's Landing.

ens362 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I live in the desert right now and love it so I'd go with Dorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Unfortunately there aren't too many islands in teh temperate zone. And being an Islander I'm not too keen on the continent. I'm not interested in being Ironborn so by process of latitudinal elmination I think Faircastle is the place for me. But it's too close to the Iron Islands for my liking. Though I'm thinking Faircastle is too insignificant a raiding destination so it might be safe from reaving despite its proximity. Proximity to Lannisport means regular visits to a big, wealthy city for some fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daenerys snow Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 the eyrie is on the mountain. the valley would most likely be the vale of arryn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Crow Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'll go with Winterfell first - it's not glamourous, but at least the Lord there treats you well enough and you can have a decent, calm living.Another choice would either be Valyria at it's peak and Asshai. Valyria sounded pretty epic, and Asshai has a buttload of magic you can learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdricBaratheon Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 White Harbour if I chose to live in The North. I have always loved the sea, and the city sounds a very comforting place, and I have always had an urge to see the Merman's court!Yet, I would have to go with Storms End!!! Housed by my favourite house, The Baratheons. And it can with stand the mightiest of armies during a strong siege, so a place of safety! (untill Randyll Tarly decides to starve the city into submission of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Lepus Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Of all the cities we have seen, I would usually pick Oldtown. If I were freakingly dirty rotten rich, I would pick Volantis or Qarth, buy a palace and fill it with...well...with "pleasant staff".But now Oldtown is in great danger of being caught between the ironborn and the dornish (if the latter support Aegon´s claims), and Volantis is likely going to burn, so I will go for Braavos, at least until the war ends.

littlespider Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Oldtown for me: I'd go there and hang out with the nerds.But White Harbor is also an attractive option since I grew up near the ocean. Loved the detail that it smells like a mermaid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evamitchelle Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'd have picked Oldtown too but now with the Ironborn besieging the city I'm not so sure. So maybe Lannisport instead, since it's been pretty much entirely out of the way of the armies so far. Certainly not King's Landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Snake No. 9 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Braavos -- Venice x Rhodes x Amsterdam; what's not to like?Alternative, Oldtown -- I grew up in a university town and I know there's money to be made feeding students.

Nausicaä Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I would love to travel Martin's world, but not live there. But if I had to pick, as a lace lover I would pick Myr. I'm not a big fan of the Free Cities, but at least I can imagine myself doing something I enjoy for a living there, learning the trade or working in the industry in some other capacity. I love Winterfell and the Eyrie, but what would I do there, if I wasn't a Lady? Be a maid or a washerwoman all my life? Nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The High Sparrow Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Another vote for the free cities for sure, I'll have to go with Braavos, based on its more Northernly, presumably cooler climate and melting pot type culture. The huge amount of commercial activity seems like there might be opportunities to make a living.In Westeros, I think I'd be less sure. I'm staying away from anything in the center of the continent - the Riverlands and areas nearby seem to be overrun by war on a regular basis. Dorne seems to be fairly quiet throughout ASOIAF and the southern/eastern coastlines seem beautiful. I might have to go with the city that surrounds sunspear if I went with Westeros at all.
